The FLRC Board of Directors will have its monthly meeting on Wednesday, August 13, at 6:30 PM in person at 50 Hickory Road in Ithaca (off the Skunk Cabbage half marathon course). Club members are welcome, but let me know so I can make sure to order enough ingredients for build-your-own-tacos. 
Our board meetings revolve around club and committee activity updates, including a report on the club’s financial position and a brief overview of past and upcoming races. This month, we’ll look at the results from Fillmore 5K, Trackapalooza, Forest Frolic, and Forge the Gorge. We will also be discussing our proposed Race and Workout Cancellation Policy, evaluating two workshop proposals, and discussing two possible sponsorships.
I open each board meeting with a quick acknowledgment of those who have gone above and beyond in volunteering for the club. This month, I want to acknowledge Lorrie Tily for directing the Fillmore 5K, which ran very smoothly and saw its highest participation since 2011, Pete Dady and Mike Stone for directing Forest Frolic in challenging conditions, and Alan Lockett for directing a highly successful Forge the Gorge trail race (and even remembering to acknowledge that the race take place is on traditional lands of the Indigenous Onondaga Nation and Indigenous Tuscarora Nation). And, of course, thanks to everyone who contributed to these events in smaller ways—there are far too many to list!
